Vanilla server UK410 still gets around 25 people at its peak. Me and my group have gone back to the mod from the standalone.

Server Details: 36 Players DayZ Standalone [173.199.111.155:2302] (The Moneyshot Sessions) Hey All, Me and my friends who were pretty active on the original DayZ have just invested in a 36 person server hosted in the NL for the Standalone. We plan on running it through a community so that everyone has a say. We all prefer the realism side to DayZ so want to try and get a good player base going as soon as possible. Once I get the IP address I will post it on here. Provisionally we are looking at making it 1st Person Only and with a lot of the other more 'hardcore' settings (I haven't had a look at the admin console yet. If anyone's interested in playing with us, post in here. We will probably be looking for active mod's too. Boggle

???. Way to assume moron. I actually want to make my server 1st person only, no crosshairs, a private community for friends and any other 'expert' options I can. But I can't, I can't do anything. And to the other poster: I've paid £20 for an alpha game, why is it my job to supliment the servers too on top of that? How many servers have you paid for to 'support the community'? Servers you wouldn't even be able to play on if they were full despite paying a lot of £££.

When the devs allow zero options for server control then it is up to them. Why would someone pay £30 a month to host a server when all they can do is rename it and restart it? No choice of settings, and if your own server is full you can't even do anything to join it. It is literally a waste of money.

Not yet! I'm having problems with the FTP files at the moment. Once I can edit them, we will activate 1st person. I haven't been able to check if it's possible at this early juncture, but the server itself is up and running at the moment at least! But rest assured; as soon as the server allows, it will have all the 'expert' mode bits turned on.

Me and my team have just purchased one here; 173.199.111.155:2302 The plan is once we figure out how the hell to edit the CFG and run it, to make it 'expert' mode: 1st person only/no nametags/no waypoints etc etc. Anyone who has experience with this and wants to help, please PM me!

Also we all (except one of us who wont be on until late tonight) have zero experience of running a DayZ server. If anyone wants to give me a quick run down of how to do things it would be very appreciated! Gameservers has a command panel but that's it, I don't think I can edit the actual settings on there.

This literally just went live, and I won't have time to mess about with it until I get home in an hour so. But..... DayZ (Public/Veteran) 113734 - The Moneyshot Sessions - Hosted by GameServers.com 173.199.111.155:2302

Will have one by the end of the day. I ordered it with gameservers.com this morning - will post all the details as soon as they give me them (they said it would take an hour!).

Can you get rid of hiding bodies? Instead give the option of 'dragging' them. So there is actually a risk to hiding a body and isn't some simple click of a button and boom, body gone. At worst at least make people have to have an etool to hide a body. I've always found it to be such a silly gaming mechanic in its current form, totally unrealistic and very easy to change/remove.

UK410. Good server, I've played on there for months (maybe even a year now). It went dead for a while but is picking up again with 20+ players on frequently. TRUFFLE PIG.

Look for a server called awkack.org Basically has everything you're after (slightly more vehicles and buildings) and a few other tweaks but not overkill. Although it hasn't been hugely busy recently, there was normally 20+ people on at peak times

Just posted this on other thread too: Try the awkack.org DayZ Server. Whitelisted, private hive, and as vanilla as it gets. All they have done is added a few more cars (nothing excessive, they are still quite rare to find), and about 3 more buildings on the map. Also there are some cool changes (you can shoot from the passenger seat of a bus/truck) and lowered the spawn rate of things like DMR's and Ghillies. Also there are no waypoints unless you have a GPS. Not completely vanilla, but the changes they have made improve the game and make it more 'realistic' and vanilla in a way, rather than 8,000.000 new guns and starting rocket launchers.

Hi, First post on here but long time browser. I just wanted to report some admin abuse on the public hive. I've played on UK352 and UK410 for many months now, possibly even years, and have never been accused of hacking before in my life, yet this played out last night; (The admin's name is Hayward). Join the server with my pre patch kit (including a DMR with about 7 clips - this is important). After playing for about an hour and a half I head to Berezino, by this point I haven't seen anyone on the server so I was a bit bored. See two people running across a hill about 400m away, killed them both with one shot from my DMR each. On my way to the industrial area by the coast, I see two more people running up the road towards me. One shot both of those and it's the same two people. One of them (Hayward) starts mouthing off in the chat about who shot him, to which after a few minutes I just politely ask, 'Can you spawn at Berezino now then?'. He then proceeds to accuse me of killing him and his friend, which I deny and say I'm not even in the area. He then comes back and checks the logs (despite having no reason to at this point - he was just spawn killed) and tells me that I killed him, and that I was using 'suspicious ammo'. Without letting me say anything he perm bans me and tells me to check the logs and dispute it on their FB group, probably thinking I would leave it there. So after much searching, I find their group, which is invite only conveniently. I join the group and ask why I was banned and to see some evidence. Hayward tells me then that I was banned for 'Teleporting' because 'two people saw it' (he is referring to him and his friend I killed). He tells me there is no record of it in the log but that doesn't matter. I enquire as to how they could possibly A ) Have seen me teleport when I shot them both one after in the other in the space of a second from 300m+ away? B ) Even if they have seen someone teleport, and it wasn't in the logs, how they could possibly tell it was me (I never at any point confessed to shooting them)? He doesn't respond to either of these points, or post a screenshot of the logs like he said when he banned me, instead he deletes my posts and bans me from their facebook group. I emailed the owner of the server to report this and ask for proof - no response. I checked this morning and I'm still banned. Is there something you can do about this? It's a public hive and blatant admin abuse. TLDR: Admin gets butthurt I killed him and his friend twice in a row as new spawns, bans me. EDIT: Just realised this is in the wrong section. Could you move it Mod? Cheers.

Munkie!! Its empty these days and all you admins have buggered off to play BF4. Don't think I can't see you in the team speak ;) Please tell the lovely Dayz Admins that I am a reputable character!

I have a crew of about 8-10 people that used to play on this server regularily. It's a good place, good admins and great anti hacks (never seen a hacker my entire time there). We haven't played as much recently (work commitments), and from letting someone in our group who sold out where all our vehicles/tents etc were to another group who destroyed everything, bit demoralising haha. With the new patch we'll all be back on soon enough so activity should pick up a bit!

DayZ Forum Mods. Is there anything that can be done about this? I have no intention of playing on their server anymore, but as you can see from Piglets response, their method of admining their server is incompatible with the rules of public hives. Maybe ask them to prove I had hacked and their admin wasn't just pissed off and angry at me? Maybe?!

Also well done for opening up the 'IF' comment, basically saying you have no idea what happened but are backing up your friend because he is your friend. You can't ban me for arguing with an ignorant and butthurt admin who abused his powers. But well done for confessing that you would consider this as a reason to ban people. Joke.

Congratulations on a very vague and uninformative post. Are you going to share this evidence? Elaborate on my hacking? Discuss these 'reports' of hackers and the server and compare it to the fact that I had been on there for an hour, for the first time in weeks, and no one had mentioned anything in the game chat? Or is this all too much to ask? Blatant admin abuse, horrible server. Tip to everyone on here, don't kill the admins if you play on UK352!

To further reply to this, and only confirming his guilt, he has personally blocked on Facebook too (despite never trying to contact him personally until now - I wanted to link him to this thread as a chance to post the proof he promised in an environment where he can't just ban me).
